DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Jane Austen and Her Works The portrait which, by the kindness of the Austen Leigh family and Mr. Bentley, we are enabled to put as the frontispiece to this work, has the interest of being a faithful copy of the only portrait that was ever taken of Jane Austen, a rough sketch made by her sister Cassandra, and afterwards touched by the hand of a professional artist, and while it cannot claim to be a perfect portrait, it is considered by those who have seen and known the great novelist to be a fairly good likeness of her.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Jane Austen and Her Times In art there had never before been seen in England such a trio of masters as Reynolds, Gainsborough, and Romney. Isolated portrait painters of brilliant genius, though not always native born, there had been in England, - Holbein, Vandyke, Lely, Kneller, and Hogarth are all in the first rank, - but that three such men as the trio above should flourish con temporaneously was little short of miraculous.

Jane Austen and the Fiction of her Time
Author: Mary Waldron
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

ISBN-13: 1139424971
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book presents Jane Austen as a radical innovator. It explores the nature of her confrontation with the popular novelists of her time, and demonstrates how her challenge to them transformed fiction. It is evident from letters and other sources, as well as the novels themselves, that the Austen family developed a strong scepticism about contemporary notions of the proper content and purpose of fiction. Austen's own writing can be seen as a conscious demonstration of these disagreements. In thus identifying her literary motivation, this book (moving away from the questions of ideology which have so dominated Austen studies in this century) offers a unifying critique of the novels and helps to explain their unequalled durability with the reading public.

Jane Austen and the Body
Author: John Wiltshire
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Published: 1992-09-24
Total Pages: 269
ISBN-13: 0521414768
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Jane Austen has been thought of as a novelist of manners whose work discreetly avoids discussing the physical. John Wiltshire shows, on the contrary, how important are bodies and faces, illness and health, in the novels, from complainers and invalids such as Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Woodhouse, to the frail, debilitated Fanny Price, the vulnerable Jane Fairfax and the "picture of health," Emma. The book draws on modern theories of the body, and on eighteenth-century medical sources, to give a fresh and controversial reading of familiar texts.
